Im trying to play this new game I installed on steam and every time I launch, it says, "Running install script (Microsoft VC redistributable)" and after a few seconds it pops up with an error saying, "The following components are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime. I then go to try to install the 64x version and it keeps saying setup failed, I also tried installing it WHILE running it as administrator. I am stuck on what to do.

This will do the following: it will end this process, you have to make sure that there are no processes left open.
Then repeat the process from here Reinstall using Visual C++ AIO after downloading, extract the install.bat file, right-click and run as administrator.
